Prayers for Sandy Hook

Why did the tragedy at Sandy Hook happen? Where was God when innocent lives were lost?

Better not to ask "Why?" Now is not the time for doubt, it's the time for faith. Asking "Why?" and questioning God are natural reactions, a very human response to the unthinkable horror of violent death. But as people of faith, we need to rise above our cynical nature and instead ask "What can be done now, how can we help?"

Prayer is one way to bring comfort to the families and friends of the victims at Sandy Hook. Prayer can heal the nation broken by this tragedy. Prayer can help all of us who are thinking of our own children and saying, "What if?"
